(under subclass 542) Apparatus comprising means to mold one of the component parts of a slide fastener.
(1) Note. A slide fastener is an assembly of elements normally used to temporarily fasten together garment portions and is comprised of a pair of opposing stringers, (e.g..,
elongated members adapted to be each fastened permanently to a garment portion and adapted to detachably connect to each other by an interlocking fit), a slider (adapted to travel along the stringers and cause the stringers to connect or disconnect from each other), a lower stop (limiting the extent of travel of the slider in the opening direction of the stringers), and an upper stop (limiting the extent of travel of the slider in the closed direction of the stringers).
